Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

Not belonging on a golf course is different than not belonging in a family. (6/5/22)

At times, a golf course is a refuge from the pain of not belonging; at times, it is a four-iron to the forehead. (6/4/22)

Greenkeepers work in the rain. (6/3/22)

Life is full of trying. (6/2/22)

One Superintendent works in the light but has trouble seeing; another works in the dark but has a light. (6/1/22)

Better to get tired doing something you enjoy than to get tired doing something you hate. (5/31/22)

A young Superintendent is destined to get tired; an old one is destined to get tired of being tired. (5/30/22)

One Superintendent works for the golfers and another works for the crew; I say it again, one Superintendent works for the owners and another works for those who see him in secret. (5/29/22)

One Superintendent has a network that supports him; another is betrayed by his blood. (5/28/22)

A young Superintendent is lured into the depths of the seductress’ lair as she whispers into his ear, ‘You can be the best.”; an old one keeps her locked in a closet. (5/27/22)
